STUDY IN WASHINGTON


STATE By Victoria Taylor


The United States of America offers many great places to study: California, New York and Massachusetts seem to be drawing increasing numbers of students each year, according to Forbes’ Top College list.


However, one place that may not have immediately occurred to you is Washington State (not to be confused with the capital city Washing D.C). This beautiful state is famous for its apples, the Space Needle, and Bill Gates and has a lot to offer in terms of academia, city life and striking natural scenery that you won't find


anywhere else in the world.


If you’re considering attending a university in Washington State, you’ll want to know what there is to do socially and culturally.


First and foremost, this state has gorgeous natural scenery that is famous in its own right: it is renowned for the Blue Mountains in the south east, which offer a multitude of camping and hiking opportunities. Alternatively, Ruby Beach, well-known for numerous sea stacks along the shoreline is a great idea for a day trip. There are a ton of other destinations just a few minutes away from Ruby Beach: ten minutes down the road, you may be fortunate enough to spot a humpback or orca whale, as they swim through another stretch of coastline


when migrating each year. The Hoh Rainforest is also nearby, and offers three trails of varying length: perfect for any nature lovers or keen photographers! Though it’s a little further away, Lake Quinalt is extremely picturesque and has lush rainforest on its borders that are perfect for a peaceful weekend retreat. As well as embarking on hikes through the nearby Quinalt Rainforest, those who prefer the water may choose to take a canoe or kayak out on to one of the state's lakes.
